The US Just Bombed A Terrorist Leader In Somalia



APAl-Shabaab fighters march in Somalia

The US military has carried out an airstrike in Somalia today against a senior leader of the al-Shabaab group, the Pentagon has said in a statement.

The Pentagon is currently uncertain as to whether or not the airstrike was successful in eliminating the senior leader, although it noted that there was no sign of civilian casualties.

Popular geopolitical commentator @ZeddRebel pointed out on Twitter that the airstrikes seem to have been based upon intelligence gathered from a former intelligence chief with Shabaab:

The strike took place in the vicinity of Saakow, Somalia. At this time, we do not assess there to be any civilian or bystander casualties.

But this Christmas break air strike was almost completely lost on the MSM, with bowl games, yet ANOTHER missing / downed MH airliner, protest marches, clearance sales, etc...
